Document Details : Title: Grenfell and Hunt in the Fayyūm Subtitle: Two Letters to J. Gilbart Smyly (IE TCD MS 4323, nos. 42 and 68) Author(s): HICKEY, Todd M. Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 54 Date: 2017 Pages: 219-235 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.54.0.3239880 Abstract : An annotated edition of two letters from B.P. Grenfell to J.G. Smyly concerning the excavations that Grenfell undertook with his partner A.S. Hunt in the Fayyūm in 1900/1901 and 1902. These documents furnish new information and insights about this fieldwork – most interestingly, its competitive and nationalistic nature – as well as other matters; they also possess an immediacy and candor that published accounts lack. |
